See the threads on this list about GTK fonts being broken. My problem was that I did an upgrade and got XFree 4.x fonts while still using XFree 3.x server. Make sure all parts of X got upgraded and check your the order of the fonts in your XF86Config. I did a lot of playing around with them. But now, that I've got a "pure" Xfree 4.1.0-7 system all the fonts are very nice.
